SmartPairing technology is a unique innovation from Polycom that
wirelessly pairs tablets to Polycom’s video conferencing systems.

room while on a live mobile video call and transfer that call from
tablet to big screen with the swipe of a finger.

Content sharing from a tablet during a video conference –
Tablet users can send content to all other video meeting participants,
regardless of whether the other users join from a group video
conferencing system or mobile device.

tablets and smartphones from Apple, Motorola, Samsung, and HTC, among
others. Polycom helps companies embrace the BYOD trend so that employees
can experience high-quality mobile video collaboration solutions on
their device of choice from anywhere without sacrificing quality,
security, or reliability.

“When we unveiled RealPresence Mobile in October 2011, we knew we were
at the beginning of a wave of use cases for mobile video. Since then,
we’ve seen fast adoption of RealPresence Mobile among businesses, as
well as vertical industries such as healthcare, education and financial
services. When people travel for work, or are mobile, they still want a
secure, HD-quality solution for connecting face-to-face with their
colleagues, partners and customers,” said A.E. Natarajan, Senior Vice
President of Worldwide Engineering, Polycom. “As a result of the
innovation of Polycom’s engineering team, we’re proud to offer the most
interoperable, reliable and secure solution for video collaboration that
supports BYOD in a mobile world and enables dispersed workers to get
business done faster.”

“Polycom video conferencing has significantly changed the way we work by
opening the lines of communication,” said Simon Quintin, Director,
Workplace Services, Smiths Group PLC. “The ability to actually see
someone directly makes the whole communication more personal and
efficient, so the adoption of Polycom video has spread across the
company quickly. Right now, about 250 of our employees are using the
RealPresence Mobile app, and it’s proving to be a great way for us to
extend video collaboration beyond the office to virtually anywhere.”

As more organizations around the world adopt video to improve
collaboration and productivity, companies of all sizes and across all
industries rely on Polycom solutions for the highest quality audio,
video, and content-sharing capabilities. Polycom RealPresence Mobile,
